Growl Boyz Agenda

Growl Boyz is becoming a thing to keep eyes opened for. In the original idea it’s just another entertainment website with videos, but there is a second meaning of all this content. You need to understand that it all comes from the ancient times of mythological Greece and Rome, so you could treat this website as a thing that’s going to make you dig deeper into history of humanity.

Missionary Boys Launch

Missionary Boys (Mormon Boyz re-branding)

This is will be revolutionary. Of course when we talk about gay adult entertainment. Missionary Boys is an actual re-brand of Mormon Boyz series. While we don’t know the reasons for that, we are rest assured that the quality of the content stays the same. Meaning: you will still discover the techniques and actions of the Order – secret cult recruiting missionaries in a very sexual way.

The Launch Of The Environmental Rights Initiative

On the human rights angle, we launched the Environmental Rights Initiative on Tuesday, March 6, 2018. This is in a bid to take a bold stand against ongoing harassment, threats, and ‘murder’ of environmental defenders. The initiative is to encourage business communities to work in a healthy and clean environment. The executive director made the proclamation in Geneva.

Humanitarian Services

On Monday 5th we brought succor to the needy in Syria when the humanitarian services delivered life-saving materials to the thousands of people in dire need in the war-torn country. This was facilitated by the special programme.

The Sustainable Development Goals

There are four major developmental functions – namely the development function, peace and security, humanitarian intervention and human rights and justice.

The Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) is a 2030 agenda for developments that are sustainable. It is an action plan targeted at both humans and the planet. The agenda is also known as the Global Goals. It is a call to action towards the eradication of poverty, for people to enjoy prosperity and peace and finally, protection for the planet.

There are 17 goals in all of these. These includes:

No poverty

Zero Hunger

Good Health and well-being

Quality education

Gender Equality

Clean water and sanitation

Affordable and clean energy

Decent work and Economic Growth

Industry innovation and infrastructure

Reduced inequalities

Sustainable cities and communities

Responsible consumption and production

Climate action

Life below water

Life on land

Peace, justice, and strong institutions

Partnership for the goals

The 17 goals are built on the successes recorded on the Millennium Development Goals with additions of other keys areas of economic inequality, climate change, innovation, peace, sustainable consumption and more.

Agenda 21

Agenda 21 is another development program. The 21 represents the 21st century. It has two parts at the moment, the agenda 21 for the environment and the agenda 21 for culture. Agenda 21 is also an action plan in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals. The programme was the result of the fonference on development and environment and was hosted in Brazil in 1992. Subsequent conferences have made modifications to the agenda. Agenda 21 for culture was initiated in 2002 to cater to local cultural practices.

The boreal forest habitat, also known as the Taiga forest, is commonly found in parts of Russia, Canada, Alaska and northern parts of Europe. Its distinguishing characteristic is the presence of coniferous trees. Its climate is quite harsh with its temperatures ranging from cold to moderately warm during the summers. Even though the climate can be quite harsh for human settlement, the boreal forests of the world have experienced encroaching human activities that have threatened to disrupt their ecological balance.

This forest features a diverse range of animal species, from birds to mammals. Among these is a widely rare species of animals that you can only find within this forest.

“Due to encroaching human activity in the boreal forests, these species have been declared locally extinct in some Canadian provinces.”

1. Boreal Woodland Caribou

The boreal woodland caribou is iconic to Canadians given its appearance on their 25-cent piece ever since 1926. These woodland caribous are the largest in the caribou family and are uniquely distinguished by their flat-beamed antlers. They are more widely dispersed than the normal barren ground caribous, and scarcely migrate with changing seasons. Due to encroaching human activity in the boreal forests, these species have been declared locally extinct in some Canadian provinces. As a result, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada has labeled it as ‘threatened.’ (see Top 10 Endangered Animals in Arctic Tundra Region)

2. Grizzly Bear

The grizzly is an amazing sight to behold in this tree-filled habitat, with some being as large as 390kg. They mainly eat vegetation, small mammals, fish, and insects. In some boreal forests, they are predators to the moose, elk, and the reindeer. Grizzly bears have for a long time experienced conflict with humans because of human encroachment on their territory.

“Also known as the skunk bear.”

3. Wolverine

The wolverine is an omnivorous animal located in the boreal regions of Scandinavia, North America, and Siberia. Also known as the skunk bear, is is mainly a scavenger which can also prey on larger animals like deer or moose. It is of average length, with the males reaching lengths of 1m and the females reaching lengths of 0.8m. Due to its large nature and robust build, its only threat to survival comes from bears, wolves and humans.

“They are largely rare due to their small population worldwide.”

4. Siberian Tiger

The Siberian tiger is a member of the cat family and inhabits the boreal forests of Russia. They are largely rare due to their small population worldwide. For Siberian tigers to survive, they need to hunt large animals like elk, reindeer, and moose and in some cases boars. They also eat smaller prey like fish and rabbits whenever an opportunity presents itself. Siberian tigers have experienced challenging times. It has been over hunted, and at some point, there were only 50 such tigers in the boreal region of Russia. You can find other members of the cat family in savannah regions.

All of these animals have either been declared endangered or threatened at some point. If you visit the boreal forests in any part of the world, make sure to catch a glimpse of them because only time will tell if human beings will push them to the edge of extinction.
